If you have a National Diploma in Sales, Marketing, or Business, then this is your chance to get your foot in the door.

What is a Sales Trainee?

As a Sales Trainee, you’ll be introduced to how the Sales Department works within a fast-paced company like Coca-Cola. You’ll stand in for Sales Reps and Account Developers, help coordinate promotions and events, and support the sales team across various activities.

Helping plan and set up special brand events (only for the Touch Channel division)
Managing and taking care of company assets (like promotional stands, equipment, and stock)
Working with the team to make sure Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) standards are followed

You’ll not only be learning about the Coca-Cola brand but also about customer relationships, market development, and how to handle the pressure of real sales targets.
